Why travelling to Senegal?

Nature: From the Pink Lake, a high-salinity lake that tints the waters with this unique shade, to the Lompoul Desert which we cross aboard 4x4 vehicles to reach our tented camp.
Fauna: Birdwatching enthusiasts? The Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary is a natural oasis on the edge of the desert inhabited by about 400 bird species, with pelicans and flamingos being the most numerous. Collect them all!
Culture: Visit the colonial town of Saint Louis, which was home to the aviation pioneer and author of "The Little Prince". And meet the craftsmen who paint large canoes with vibrant colors in the largest fishing village in Senegal.
Curiosity: In Senegalese there is no word for "foreigner". However, there is the term "gan", which means "guest". This demonstrates the welcoming and hospitable nature of the Senegalese people, who consider every visitor as their guest.
